As everyone knows, game development is hard, but for Shovelworks Studios, the world's worst video game studio, it's damn near impossible, having never gotten a decent score. But with the help of a new animator, will Shovelworks finally get above 3 out of 10?3 out of 10 is an episodic, animated game series created by Terrible Posture Games and Epic Store Exclusive about the adventures of developers at the world's worst video game studio as they endure antics both absurd and topical in various mini-games. The first episode was released on August 6, with every episode being released a week after. Season One: Episode One: Welcome To Shovelworks; While releasing Surfing With Sharks, intern Midge Potter joins Shovelworks Studios as it's new animator, due to the old one exploding. Unfortunately, a mob of angry fans start protesting outside for the shark of the game to be fixed or cancel the game entirely. Midge must help quell the protestors while dealing with the bizarre secrets of the studio. Episode Two: Foundation 101; Sick of the countless "interns" being shipped to them, Midge decides to head to the school where they're coming from and return them, only to learn of a dark secret festering in the school. Episode Three: Pivot Like A Champion; The team are unable to agree on what additional game elements should Surfing With Sharks have, so they settle this the only way they know how: an office-wide Battle Royale. Episode Four: Thank You For Being An Asset To Our Company; With investors coming over for a meeting, Jeb assigns Francine to redecorate the office in two days. Meanwhile, someone has replaced the game's shark designs with high-end 3D models, leaving Midge, Kevin, and Pylon to investigate who was responsible. Episode Five: The Rig Is Up!; Pylon and Kevin go on an adventure to fix Pylon's...missing face. Season 2: Episode 1 The Kevin Effect: Kevin's computer was stolen, leaving him unable to perform any work. Pylon and Midge head out to investigate the loss of the computer Episode 2 Green Screen and Hammers: Pylon converts the meeting room into a motion capture room and have one of the others perform a flip. Meanwhile, the hammering in the office is causing Kevin to suffering from a hammer headache. Episode 3 Welcome to the Club: There is a long lineup for a game club. Viper is able to enter, but Mitch, Pylon and Kevin are turned away because they aren't into realistic violent games. Episode 4 Catapults and Conspiracies Episode 5 It's Fun O'Clock Somewhere | |

Headache of Doom: Kevin's hammer headache is about as powerful as a migrane, and also causes him to become delusional enough to return the hammer headache back to whomever gave it to him. | |

Cordon Bleugh Chef: Pylon, as the pilot episode shows. His idea of feeding the rioting fans is making them a Ketchup Granola Stew, consisting of ketchup, granola, and salsa...which looks disgusting as it sounds once it's finished. Apparently it was also poisonous. | |

Wham Shot: At the end of the first episode, it's revealed that Midge has been involved with illegal activities, and is blackmailed into staying by mysterious contacts. Her mission is also simple; to make sure they never make a good game, or it will be The End of the World as We Know It. In episode four, the game review score tracker rises up to 4 for the first time ever. | |

Story Overwrite | |
| 3 out of 10 (Video Game) / int_9d2a873b | comment |
Story Overwrite: The Mini-Games between the cutscenes have no impact on the story, and are just meant to collect stars. Thus Pylon punching out five waves of stock game developers is followed by a scene where they overpower him. It also works in favor of the player, where a loss is instead converted to a win. | |

Sarcastic Confession: Midge tells Pylon what happened, about the thief being locked in the room because the walk-in fridge was 150 years old and had no internal unlocking mechanism, and thus the thief built a butter castle while waiting for the morning crew to arrive so that she could walk out. Pylon claims that this deduction is incorrect, because they're dealing with a true mastermind, where the butter castle was a Calling Card left by the villain. | |
